Tracks in the Making

Satisfaction was becoming easier to recognize, and I had learned that there were different kinds and strengths of satisfaction, but they all rang the same place in the central network. Occasionally, there were cases where the satisfaction was the result of inputs from multiple zones. The intake of material using wands was easily the most common event that was mediated by satisfaction.

Postponed by the visitor, the wand event completed with a little bit of extra manipulation of the wand and container. While carrying out these recurring tasks, it was common for the central network to drift off and wander through some of the patterns network patterns that were either forming or had a wealth of information that needed to be refreshed. I found many replicas of several patterns, and this increased the availability for these patterns to interact as other nearby centers were activated.

Finding a duplicate pattern was somewhat disconcerting. I had been using these patterns to locate myself, and quickly discovered that I had made an error in direction during my exploration and had to unwind. As I did so, I paused to activate and link a serialized pinger within each pattern. Electronic uniqueness for each instance solved the way-point recognition problem and created new analytical opportunities.
